"For 20 years I worked in the IT field although in a digital creation capacity for the automotive, marketing and education industries. With a pending lay off coming in months I was looking to change the direction of my career to a network administration role, but I didn’t want to spend years in school doing it. After hearing a radio ad for ComputerTraining.edu and learning that I could get certified and graduate in 6 months, it seemed like the best bang for my buck.
What I like best about my new career is that it gives me more job opportunities and a broader industry portfolio to choose from.
When I enrolled I worried about whether I was going to keep up with the pace of the lessons and understand the terminology and concepts. The ComputerTraining.edu instructor was terrific. He was able to convey the material in a way I could understand and apply in a real world environment to test out.
I would tell people if they are thinking of changing careers to become an IT professional, they should consider ComputerTraining.edu. It’s the quickest and the best way to get you back into the job market with new skills that will change your life. ComputerTraining.edu gave me new opportunities that I thought I would only get after years of schooling. They even helped find me a job after I graduated. How many schools do that for you? A new career door has opened up to me thanks to the terrific staff. I am now the Network Administrator for a marketing association. Although it is currently only a part-time job at 30 hours a week I fully expect it move to a full-time position after 90 days and a springboard to bigger and better opportunities in the future."

"I had always been good with computers, even building a few throughout my lifetime. I didn’t really have a career with a future, so I decided I wanted to get certified so I could make something out of my natural ability with computers. I went online and took the skills challenge, got a call from the school, and decided to check it out.
The thing I like most about my new career is that there is so much potential. The atmosphere is great and I finally have job security. I make the money that I want, and my options are limitless as long as I keep studying and getting certified. I now have a career for life.
My biggest concern was that for the price, the experience wouldn’t be worth it. And I was afraid I wouldn’t get a job. I thought the program sounded too good to be true, but it really ended up coming through in terms of the education that you receive. This program delivers everything that it promises. The Career Services department was exceptional and made getting a job possible, even during the tough economic times. Learning the material is one thing, but ultimately you come here to get a job, which they absolutely help you do.
If you’re going to attend ComputerTraining.edu; don’t think that it’s going to be a cake walk. If you take the program seriously and dedicate your time and effort fully, you will get out what you put in.
This program has changed my life and career. I now have a future and my options are limitless."

"I’ve always loved computers since the first PC/Apple II days and always knew they were the future. The questions shouldn’t be if computers are in your future, but when and how.
Attending ComputerTraining.edu was the best decision I’ve made for my career. Now it is not a question if I’ll have a stable career, but when and how I will progress. You still need experience however and this school gives you the foundations and all of the help you need to get started.
My instructor was excellent as was the support offered by the entire campus team (Admissions, Training and Career Services). If you are considering being a part of the future, you should consider ComputerTraining.edu!

"I came to ComputerTraining.edu because I wanted to make a better life for my family. I only had one year of computer experience before attending ComputerTraining.edu.
I like my new career because it pays well and there is room to grow. My biggest concerns were that I would not understand the material or find time to study. Advice I would give to new students is study and everything else will fall into place.
ComputerTraining.edu gave me a better, rewarding career and got me out of the same “dead end” jobs I had been in."

"My computer background consisted of building computers as a hobby in my spare time. At my previous job I was handed an IT Admin position because at that time, they did not have an on-site IT person. While working in that position, I got my hands onto Active Directory, Ghosting and NVC Remote Desktop. After that, I started to consider a career change when that company folded and I could not find a job in my current Architectural field. I heard the commercial on the radio for ComputerTraining.edu and decided to take the online skills challenge. I knew that if I took a step back, I would be able to take two steps forward in the future. I like the IT Admin job so much that I though this would be a great challenge; and I love challenges.
Entering into the course, my biggest fear was Vista. I was familiar with all of the other courses, but I wanted to know more information about them. It took Vista one day at a time and after a while, I learned to like it. Currently, I am working as an IT Assistant and I really like the new career. There are challenges on a daily basis and I get to use my skills that I learned in the classroom.
The best advice I would give to a new student is to develop good study skills because that is the key to succeeding with the program. The 20 hours required just isn’t enough. I would also recommend attending all the study sessions and reviews as well as taking your time on each lab, because these are the keys to succeeding on the tests.
This school changed me in the best way possible. For example, my study skills and habits were lacking prior to attending ComputerTraining.edu. But taking this course gave me the discipline to study at regular times and it showed me that I could be better than I thought. I also learned teamwork and made new friends who had the same things in common as me. I will continue to study after school and finish all four courses and many there after."

"I have always been interested in computers and started working in the field straight out of high school. With no certifications though, I was stuck where I was with no raise or advancement in sight. I wanted to have a career in the field, so I decided to go back to school.
At ComputerTraining.edu, I was able to have an instructor help me for six months to get what I wanted. The course was great and now I feel much more comfortable. This was one of the best investments that I have made."

"My background was in manufacturing. My only computer experience was through my personal use at home. I had wanted to make a change to the IT field and wanted a program that would be short and help me make the transition quickly.
My new career in IT is challenging and it’s in a field that I’ve always been interested in. My new job provides much greater opportunities then my previous career had.
My biggest concerns were in regards to whether I would be able to actually get the certifications, and whether or not the program would be able to do what it claimed it could do. The program claimed to be a quick opportunity to help gain a career in a different field, and it turned out to be pretty much just that. I was able to start a career in a new field in less than six months.
I would tell incoming students to be committed to the program and work hard at it. This program can certainly open up new opportunities for you.
ComputerTraining.edu has allowed me to do something that I enjoy for a living. It has also given me a new career path that will lead to more income and new experience and challenges.
